A guide to going out on Thanksgiving Eve

POSTED: Wednesday, November 21, 2012, 2:54 PM

No doubt Thanksgiving Eve is a great night to go out because, well, tomorrow's obligations don't really involve all that much more than hangover-friendly activities like sitting around and eating a lot. The good folks over at Thought Catalog have put together a pretty spot-on guide to going out on Thanksgiving including the origins of the tradition:

“Say, you got work tomorrow?” wondered one of pilgrims, wearing a particularly stupid hat.

“Nay,” said his friend, deliberately ignoring the fact that he’d signed up for the 9 a.m. Butter Churning shift.

“You thinkin’ what I’m thinking?” inquired the friend, his tri-cornered hat the absolute epitome of all that is ungodly and wretched in the world.

They then cracked open a couple of local-brewed pumpkin-wheat lagers (these were hipster pilgrims) and proceeded to get hammered. A tradition was born.

Head on over to Thought Catalog read the rest of the entry but please don't succumb to the inevitable ritual of "Forgetting to Close Your Tab and Leaving Your Credit Card at the Bar."
